it means only 1 drive available to

the programs we do have available are
much better then the high priced

gives me access to the IBM world but
Sinclair is still the best.

are many advantages to such a sys-

This is a transitional year. Many

of our once-prominent software wri-

Cial, acknowledgement of effort, or
for that matter, just plain old
communication. For one reason or

another, they have
interested parties.

The following thoughts are as
disturbing to me, as they (hopeful-
ly) are thought-provoking to you. I
have always considered the average
Sinclairist to be someone that wants
to get the best value for his/her
dollar. The individual has seen the

simple elegance and power of their
systems, and are maverick and
defiant enough to say - with pride

that they can do what the big boys
can do; maybe not as fast, but
enough to be with the
results. I can say, without reserve,
that the Sinclair community impres-
ses me with their

impressed

drive to squeeze

that last ounce of power from what
was thought to be a "toy" or "door -
stop." However, in the past there

has been a sense of complacency, or

"Let someone else do it. I only use
programs, I dont know how tc

The leaders, ali of who should be
congratulated for preseverance, man-

aged to overcome these attitudes
during the early, Years, and SELT
provide a product. I sence the
urgency in our efforts. It is in the
realm of possibility that there will
only be a handful (2 to 300) of

North American Sinclairists in the

Why can orphans of the storm sur-

selves to diminish the fine efforts

the major reason for second

A while back 1 wrote to Sector

Spellbound, and I just got a reply. I
wanted to know if the dictionary could
be printed out. There response was no.
It seems there is no way to print out
the words in the dictionary. To bad.
- It would be a good way to verify what
words you want to keep and what to
"delete. It seems that to print out the
` complete dictionary it would take over
457 pages to list. They have moved to

a new address and here it is: Sector

please do. They have two new products:
A new ROM called MINERVA for the QL.
It has a faster TRAP entry. scheduler,
floating point arith., string
manipulation and concatenation, RAM
test for Trump Card owners, program
search and corrected graphics. This
ROM also fixes some outstanding bugs.

I don't know if it is for the US ROM
or not but I will find out. The price
is 30 pounds English but with enough

The second letter I got was from the
S.U.B. QL club in England. They sent
us a new magazine in response to the
issues of SMUG Bytes we send them. I
will have it at the next meeting but I
will go through a littl
contents right now. There is a nice
little article on SpeedScreen. It
explains what SpeedScreen does and how
it does it. What programs are
compatable with it and what ones are

not. There's also a nice article on
TurboQuill Plus. They talk on the
advantages and disadvantages of using
TurboQuill. They have the speeds of
original and Turbo Quill in a
comparison table. They talk about the

customising required to use Spellbound
and other programs enhancing Quill.
They also cover Flashback, a Data Base

manager, and Oly Terminal. a
communications package for the QL.
They also cover hardware such as the

Trump Card and the TanData QCOM system
for the QL. The magazine is worth the
time it takes to read. But one thing
be sure to have your glasses as the
type is rather small. :
